About this object
A postcard photograph of Napier Hospital on Hospital Hill taken in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century.
This was a later incarnation of the original Napier Hospital on Sealy Road. The site adjoining the old barracks opened on 30 June 1880. A horse is grazing in the foreground.
The extra story was added on the front wing to provide doctors quarters in 1884. A new wing and children's ward were also added at this time.
Photographer, Muir & Moodie. Post card published by J Chadwick and printed in Saxony.
